shoulder dislocation - tales of woe/joy wanted 29-Nov-2012 At 11:35:16 PM White Gold

I dislocated mine 5 weeks ago for the first time. A week before Melbourne cup long weekend! Going to see John salmon this week. He does 700-800 ops a year with 75% of those on shoulders. A very good shoulder surgeon and conservative with his decision on whether to opp or not. Does a lot of the footy players. I have an extensive labral tear from 5.30 around to 12 o'clock. And moderate posterosuperior hill sach lesion.

Have seen a physio and had a few opinions. Most saying to try and avoid surgery as it is my first dislocation and just to do the rehab. That's probably sweet for the those other people who don't climb? Have been doing all the exercises and its feeling good but not going to rush back into climbing. Just have to wait and see what John says this week.

Out of interest how many other people have dislocated their shoulder, then done the rehab without surgery and not had it pop a 2nd or more times?
How old were you when you dislocated it the first time?
Were you still doing rehab when it dislocated the second time?
